Who would possibly think beating Ottawa and Detroit in games 81 & 82 of a lost season for all 3 teams means any damn thing at all?

I’m honestly worried about this.

This will be the thin pretext that Botterill needs not to fire Housley.

“They ended the season on a winning streak! Need to keep that late-season momentum going into next season!”

It would be ridiculous, but who knows.

I think an underrated good in this game was the boys trying to get the puck to Skinner the whole shift on his second goal, and even Housley getting him some shifts on the top line to make 40 this season and 200 career happen.

39 and 199 are all the advanced stats Housley needs for his in-game decisions ;)

Beating two week teams at teh end of the season is no cause for renewed optimism.... But they'll probably try to hang their hat on that.

Lottery odds. I played the simulator about 25 times. Buffalo finished with the 7'th pick, and the 5'th pick most frequently. 3'rd pick next most frequent, and 1'st overall 3 times, not that this means much. They never came up as pick 2 or pick 4......

They have the 20 St. Louis pick going to Anaheim, and us with the San Jose 25 pick... Again, we won't know until playoff results...

I was under the impression that the SJS pick went to ANA.

Edit: Since the pick is between 20 and 31, it is indeed the STL pick.... too bad.

Only if the STL pick is 19 or below.

Based on regular season, that's dead. However, if STL loses early, and someone lower goes to the final 4 (Vegas is good horse to bet on), they could slide to 19, which would make the STL pick ours again.

Skinner got 40 goals
Eichel broke 80 points
Dahlin got over 40 points
Reinhart 65 points

Montour looks like a great addition
Rochester Swedes look GREAT for the future

Housley better get fired...
Botts should get fired too, but im less hopeful on this

U

F Botterill for that condition the SJ pick straight up would have been enough

Sunny disposition, eternally optimistic, rah, rah cheerleaders who always give management the benefit of the doubt and gladly turn over their hard earned dollars to the organization because to be a Sabre fan is a privilege and an honor.

A couple of them even post here occasionally..............
